THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD COUNSEL HIS MEN.

MR. BRYAN IN THE WEST TRIES to deck himself out as the Advance Agent of Prosperity. As if a man with a dirty shirt and fllfthy coat and trousers should put on a clean collar and cuffs and call himself properly

dressed. ) Mr. Bryan seems to think the people1 of this country have no memory when he tries to shove himself forward as the harbinger of good times. While he is going over the country telling what good times we shall have when he is elected, stubborn manufacturers keep ever fresh before the peo

ple the need of voting for Taft. P. W.

less Seperator Works, near Philadelphia, feeling it his duty to take his employes into his confidence respecting prospects announced as hundreds of other manufacturers have done that he saw no chance of keeping hi3

plant running if Bryan is elected. "Letters received every day," said

tomers, who should be ordering thousands of seperators at this time, state that they ARE REFUSING TO PLACE THEIR ORDERS FOR FEAR THAT

BRYAN WILL BE ELECTED." Now Mr. Sharpless will be attacked

Is trying to "coerce" the 1,000 men whose livelihood depends on the contin

ued operation of his works.

Whv shouldn't a manufacturer take his men into his confidence and

counsel and advise them what are their

WHY SHOULD HE BE SUBJECTED TO ABUSE BECAUSE HE IS

STATING FACTS?

Are those workingmen not dependent on the men who give them em

ployment and pay them honest wages?

It can be readily seen why Bryan's election may create a feeling of

distrust that will mean fewer men employed and still fewer re-employed.

Bryan is fertile minded, but we have not read where he is able to sug

gest the smallest reason why his sucecss should mean a return of prosperity. Advance Agent of Prosperity? Rather Advance Agent of Postponement! Walt till 1912, Mr. Bryan, and you may have better reasons for

asking for suffrage. MR. BROWN'S SPEECH

THE MAGNIFICENT AND IRREFUTABLE arguments made by Vice

President Brown, of the New York

columns yesterday, have caused widespread comment among the laboring

men in this region. The fact that the engineer on the English railroad gets $2 for making the same run for which the American engineer gets $7.60, will silence the free trade apostles. When Mr. Brown shows that out of every dollar made by the railroads in this country labor gets 67 cents, will be

another argument in favor of republican policies. The address will cause

the laboring man to do soma tall thinking. The railroad man at least will

take counsel. He won't be apt to vote

the Industry. O "WHEN THE FOOLISH ARE THIRSTY."

ONE OF THE MOST RIDICULOUS statements that has ever appeared In any paper during the campaign, is one on a democratic organ in which

it speaks of the "alliance between campaign fund."

This is great news. It had been generally accepted that the brewery trust had taken off its coat and vest and was working to elect Marshall and

the democratic ticket.

We are now informed that there is an alliance between the brewers and the republicans. This, of course, puts the matter in a new light. It is quite probable then that the Lieber-Bell-Fairbanks-Taggart combine was trying to put county option out of business in order that it might help to swell the republican campaign fund. The brewery saloons all over the state

are then no longer for Marshall, but

palgn fund. The brewery trust emissaries who have been doing secret work and holding back-room meetings with saloonkeepers, are just doing It

for Mr. Watson. The brewers helping the republicans well oh, what's the use? MR. CRUMPACKER'S SPLENDID SPEECH.

THE SPEECH MADE BY Congressman E. D. Crumpacker at Brook's theater last night was a refreshing review of the practicalness of republican policies. It is refreshing to find a congressional candidate who can get up

before an audience and tell the people

Mr. Darroch, Congressman Crumpacker's opponent, is an estimable gentleman, but he would be a sorry representative of a great industrial region

like this in the Halls of Congress. - TAFT AND THE INTELLIGENT WAGE EARNERS

know him as their friend. They cannot be deceived by false statements as to his attitude. They know that his record will bear the closest scrutiny and that he is the steadfast advocate of harmony instead of strife between employers and employes. Hia candidacy is a frank, manly appeal to the reason and justice of American workingmen and his confidence in the vitality of those attributes has been manifest at every stage of his public career. Labor World. THE MANUFACTURERS who are called "plunderers" and "robbers" by democratic organs, the men who employ thousands of men and give them their daily bread, will of course be converted to vote for Bryan by such unanswerable arguments. , , . o o SUBSCRIPTIONS TO the democratic national campaign fund will be published today.

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye. LIKE FATHER. LIKE SON. Young Beach Ilargis of Kentucky a few months ago shot and instantly killed his father. Monstrous! But wait Eehind the bald facts of the shootIn? are some things that throw a different light on the dark shadows of vi4ttf ill tratraAtr The plans for the defense in the trial of the young man show some hideous disclosures in the early years of Ilargis' life. When he was but a child his father often made him drunk with whisky. He did so for his diversion, laughing at the maudlin antics of the boy. Not content to be entertained alone by his child's debauchery, he Invited in the neighbors to enjoy the vaudeville. Is it any wonder the boy grew tip a drunkard? Or that, seduced by his father from decency, be should be without natural affection? At the early age of fourteen Beach Ilargis was a besotted young savage. His prime ambition was to shoot some enemy from behind a hedge or engage In the feud wars of the countryside. From Infancy nargis taught his son the expert use of firearms, thus pointing a gun at his own breast. Later, 6ays the boy, his father de veloped a strong hatred toward him. Time and again, without excuse, he beat the boy Into insensibility. Put yourself in the place of the eon. with his rearing and surroundings. ne was little more than a young ani mal, without conscience or mercy or regard for human life. And THE BOY WAS WHAT HIS FATHER' MADE HIM. The teaching of this tale-of horror is plain You will reap what you sow, and more than you sow. The law of compensation holds. Suffering necessarily follows 6ln. And YOUR BOY will be what you make him. Now he is putty Id your bands. Soft putty takes Impressions. You can mold your boy into good or evil shape. By and by the putty will harden. It Is then too late to mold it It you sow in that boyish heart evil thoughts, hatred, recklessness, disre gard of your fatherhood, why YOUR BOY WILL KILL YOU. Oh. no; not with a gun perhaps, but there Is more than one way to kill a father. It may be by a slower process, less merciful than gunshot, but he will kill you Just the same. Are you bringing up a parricide? THIS DATE IN HISTORY. October 15. 1804 Swiss immigrants established settlement at Greensburg, Pa, 1805 Wllhelm von Kaulbach, cele brated German artist, born.

In Pittsburg, in 1875, he first apeared as Uncle Joshua Whitcomb, in a one-act piece of that name which h wrote. In 1885, in collaboration with George W.

WILLIAM H. TAFT " He ia aa strong no he la gentle. Hia repatation ia simply spotless. Ia all the agitation of n heated campaign for the srreatcat oAce in the world, no one haa ventured to intimate a doubt of the absolute honesty of thla man who haa been before th country for a quarter of a eeatnry.

Tha Tom Marshall banner put up by democrats, across from their club rooms, did not last very long. The wind has Dractlcallv torn it to shrorf At thu tlme it would De very appro priate for somebody to resort to the simile or metaphor, but the fact is tha 't was insecurely fastened.
